10 Recent Horror Movies That Pissed Everyone Off
2. The Strangers - Chapter 1/2/3
Yes, this entry is technically a cheat as it's lumping three movies into one, but have you seen these films and the reaction they've received from viewers? A little cheating on this list should be the least of The Strangers franchise's worries right now.
The Strangers (2008) made a splash in the horror movie scene. It was a compelling flick with some unsettling moments and a great trio of villains. It didn't get a sequel for another decade, but while The Strangers: Prey At Night was far from great, fans had no idea how bad things were going to get.
Renny Harlin's chapter-based trilogy, a soft reboot of the franchise, began in 2024 and has wrought rage upon the horror community with each entry. The movies are diabolical, with terrible character motivations, no tension whatsoever, shoddy filmmaking, and a general sense of "why?" What's worse is that the trilogy actively takes away from what made the original film great, removing the mystery, fear, and intrigue.
Each instalment has ranked high in every "worst horror movies of the year" list, leaving a trail of fan rage in its wake.
